These monkeys roam free in Moody Gardens rainforest. So if they swing overhead, don't look up!
The top one ran across the railing you hold onto, then came into the walkway to sit on a post for a photo op!
The next monkey had a companion, but he stayed in the trees and didn't come that close and moved constantly. They had zoo personnel watching the people and the monkeys, making sure no one grabbed for them. One girl screamed when the monkey at top got into her space. Of course the monkey tore off. Humans can definitely be more frightening.
The ones below were territorial. The keeper said if you get into their area, they make a ruckus.
I get a lot of backsides of animals. They move too quickly while the camera is attempting to focus. :)
Off to shop in a little bit !
Have a super Monday!
